NAME RESET
;*****************************************************************
; Upon reset the 386 starts executing at address 0FFFFFFF0H. The
; upper 12 address bits remain high until a FAR call or jump is
; executed.
;
; Assume the following:
;
;
; - a short jump at address 0FFFFFFF0H (placed there by the
; system builder) causes execution to begin at START in segment
; RESET_CODE.
;
;
; - segment RESET_CODE is based at physical address 0FFFF0000H,
; i.e. at the start of the last 64K in the 4G address space.
; Note that this is the base of the CS register at reset. If
; you locate ROMcode above this address, you will need to
; figure out an adjustment factor to address things within this
; segment.
;

; Define addresses to locate GDT and IDT in RAM.
